Becoming a Game Developer - Lesson 1 and 2 Date: 8/17/2005 By: Kurt Knudsen This edition of the journal finds me utilizing a considered background in C/C++ programming to delve enthusiastically into the Game Institute’s DirectX programming Module 1. Seeing as the institute uses its own material for the majority of the courses—including DirectX—purchasing personal reference books, or anything text related, will not be necessary. However, the procurement of a compiler is required—obviously—as well as the DirectX 9.0c SDK. The compiler recommend by both the Game Institute and myself is Visual Studio . NET (VC7) . You can, of course, select a free compiler such as DevC++ , but you will subsequently run the ill-advised risk of it not working efficiently. If you are currently studying at college you can pick up a student version of Visual Studio for a mere few dollars in most outlets, whereas other colleges and universities offer major discounts. It should be noted at this point that select colleges are accepting courses taken through the Game Institute as genuine college credits. You can locate a list of said colleges via the institute’s website, found here(http://www.gameinstitute.com/apps/affiliate_viewer.php). And as time and reputation progress, it’s likely that more colleges will accept classes offered by the Game Institute , so check that list regularly.
